System Capabilities

System Description

The system uses a Stirling cycle-cooled platinum silicide detector
that provides high-resolution, short-wave (3.4–5.0 µm) response optimized
for a wide range of basic and high-temperature industrial and environmental applications.

Storage and Analysis Capacity

The advanced 256 x 256 focal plane array detector can digitally
store and analyze the equivalent of over 65,500 discrete temperature points in a
single image.

The camera can store about one thousand 12-bit images on a removable
64-MB PCMCIA memory card for later viewing and analyzing.

Information Processing

In combination with the AGEMA Researcher real-time digital image-processing
software, the SC 1000 can feed real-time data directly to a personal computer for
videolike recording at 5–7 frames a second and instant analysis.

Spot, maximum, minimum, average, and delta temperatures are recorded
digitally and can be viewed either on the camera monitor using the onboard software
or on a computer monitor during real-time data capture or postprocessing.

Since the radiometer is digital, a high-resolution image is produced
such that each pixel has a discrete temperature value.

For immediate viewing and analysis, the system uses a 3-in. color
LCD screen.
